Look at 3:19, did Benjamin and Daisy have any (close) friends at this time? If so, did they notice that Benjamin was not aging but getting younger? Did Benjamin ever have a job (when he was in his 20s I know he fixed bikes)? I guess he lieved of his dad's money. How come no one notice that Benjamin was getting younger except his mom, his dad and Daisy? Did Benjamin have friends at all?

[sheelagirl]

most of his friends (in the beginning) were in an elders home, or new him for short periods of time. The elderly died quickly in his life

[Maloperverso]

Yeah, and I guess Benjamin never went to a Doctor to try and figure out why he was getting younger instead of older. In the movie they never explained why Benjamin kept growing younger. I guess it wasn't that important to the guys that wrote the story..

[sheelagirl]

well its a movie...ya kno how they are...

[emanresusirk]

@Maloperverso There was no actual reason. It's fictional.
